Divrey Hayamim Alef 29:3 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 29:3

Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my
God
Had a good will to it, and was earnestly desirous of having it built, and that in a grand manner:

I have of my own proper good;
which he had treasured up for his own use:

of gold and silver, [even that] I have given to the house of my God;
to build or ornament it, or make vessels for it:

over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house;
for the building of the temple, which is made mention of in the preceding chapter.

Divrey Hayamim Alef 29:3 In-Context

1 9 Furthermore Dovid HaMelech said unto kol HaKahal, Sh’lomo beni (my son), the one Elohim hath chosen, is yet na’ar and tender, and the melachah (work, task) is gedolah; for the palace is not for adam, but for Hashem Elohim.
2 Now I have provided with all my ko’ach for the Bais Elohai the zahav for things to be made of zahav, and the kesef for things of kesef, and the nechoshet for things of nechoshet, the barzel (iron) for things of barzel (iron), and etzim for things of etzim; onyx stones to be set, turquoise, and stones of various colors, and all manner of precious stones, and marble, all in abundance.
3 Moreover, because I have set my affection on the Bais Elohai, I have of mine own segullah (treasure) zahav and kesef, which I have given to the Bais Elohai, over and above all that I have prepared for the Beis HaKodesh.
4 Even shloshet alafim talents of zahav, of the zahav of Ophir, and shivat alafim talents of refined kesef, to overlay the walls of the buildings;
5 The zahav for things of zahav, and the kesef for things of kesef, and for all manner of melachah (work) to be made by the hands of charashim (artisans). And who then is willing to consecrate his yad today unto Hashem?
